I got the server back up, but there are critical SMART errors for the boot drive, mainly regarding write endurance (101% TBW) I will have to replace the drive :( #CorkApp

I'll deal with this in the evening. Follow me for updates, expect an update today at around 20:30 CEST #CorkApp

Of course "routine system update" turned into an unreported drive failure (thanks a lot, Intel drives) I'll spin up a secondary server from a backup until that gets resolved, probably later this evening once I get physical access to the server #CorkApp #SysAdmin

You may ask, what happened to version 2.0.2? That came out yesterday and was release 2.0.1 recompiled for Golden Gate. But a merge conflict overwrote double-click handling, so I fixed that quickly. Happy Corking! #swift #swiftUI #macOS #opensource #buildinpublic #macdev #homebrew #CorkApp

Cork firmly stands the only major GUI for Homebrew that is not vibe coded slop It has one of the strongest no AI policies: corkmac.app/our-ai-stance/ You won’t find emojis used as icons here 😉 If you appreciate real software: corkmac.app #homebrew #CorkApp #macdev #fuckai #noai #antiai
